What’s next after AI?

@DouglasLoveful Having my tech team meeting at 7:30 am (they are in Europe) it kicks me into high gear, and I get working. Sometimes I forget I need to eat until 1pm, doing deep work. Afternoon evening are for networking and outreach.

What's your biggest productivity hack as a founder? I'm curious 🤔

@heyellehogan 💯

You don't need more people. You need a room worthy of what you bring.

@aubreystrobel 💯

You really only need one win.

@sabakarimm Bridge round is the new series A

The round is not the win. The round is more runway to go find the win

@danellisona @grok change his mind

AI can't replace humans. Change my mind

@demisama_ Palo Alto aint better 😭

the housing market in sf is really crazy😱 every time I find a place that seems decent, it gets taken within a day, or the prices just keep going up

@OrieanResearch If you are in b2b it’s mandatory!

at this point is Linkedin even worth using?

Developers who author documentation using AI are idiots.

@michellelsun copilot for industrial arms, to teach a new multipart manipulation in 5 minutes on edge. check it out! cognivix.com

Robotics & physical AI is the highest leverage bet in tech right now. Labor gaps in manufacturing, elder care, defense, and space all reduce to the same requirement: bodies that work in the real world, not just software and models. What's changed: actuator costs are down, sensor quality is up, and foundation models let one policy generalize from a biped to a factory arm. The stack finally clears the bar hardware alone never did. The differentiation moves past motor design into sim-to-real transfer, data flywheels, and low-cost embodiment at scale. What are you building?

@_okdara_ but you love it! Admit it! 😉

My brain hurts sometimes. 🥲

@neuralunlock 52 here this is my 4th company

40 year old founders are absolutely dominating right now

@kelvinbuildss 128GB 💪

Hey programmers, how much RAM do you actually need? -8 GB -16 GB -24 GB -32 GB -64 GB+

@JoshuaKDominic @E_Bruxxx Always fall for it damn :D

Hard tech has more bullshit traction signals than software lol. LOIs, MOUs, pilot discussions, "strategic interest”, government relationships, non-binding purchase intentions, joint development conversations, etc. Would rather see one customer wire money, deploy product, and come back for a second order than a deck full of logos and non-binding paperwork. Interest is free. Budget requires conviction.

@E_Bruxxx Hard tech takes money way before you have revenue. We raised 1M on university research and prototypes. If you are looking for hard traction at pre-seed you are not investing in hard/deep tech

Moved from SF to Palo Alto. Immediate +20°F / +10°C reality check. Thankfully, years of thermodynamics classes finally paid off: just route the AC’s exhaust straight up the chimney. Hot air rises, problem solved. Physicists don’t complain about the heat, we reroute it. 🔥➡️❄️

@jaiyagill Incredibly is one of my less busy time. Meetings form 6am to 10am with Europe and afternoon/evening is full of events I need to go

you can tell who’s unemployed by who’s asking if you want to see The Odyssey at 10am on a Tuesday

@antopatrex1 True but it is what it is. Learn and adapt.

silicon valley will fund a stanford dropout with a pitch deck and zero customers over a nobody with a working product and real revenue. every single time. here's what nobody in tech wants to say out loud:

@Tim_Denning That’s my operating assumption.

Nothing humbles you like realizing you didn’t put in enough effort and it’s actually all your fault.
